This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Brady isn't allowed to be tackled by tenn_subway
Look at these shots Joe took against the Giants. Do you think Tom Brady would be playing at 40 years old in that version of the NFL? Either one of these hits would result in a 9 year suspension in the current NFL.
Not to mention the entire rule set of the NFL is designed to allow WRs to run untouched down the field. Look up some highlights of Ronnie Lott decapitating mother fuckers who come across the middle. Julian Edeleman wouldn't last 8 games in the 1986 NFL.
